Dr. Lawal said one of the reasons the Board was established include proper documentation of genuine herbal medicines, for future references, adding that improper documentation by alternate medicine practitioners in the olden days had impeded the growth of the practice.
She said Board was ready to support practitioners who have any herbal solution or medicine that had been confirmed to be effective, to approach the Board for sponsorship of mass production, assuring that government would facilitate laboratory tests, clinical trials, approval of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), packaging, as well as branding, with propriety rights.

Responding, Chairman, Traditional Healers Association, Chief Toyin Ogatimirin, who appreciated government for its numerous attempts at standardising the practice in the state, assured of the association’s readiness to cooperate with the Board at achieving all the set goals.

Speaking with journalists in Abeokuta, National President Ewedayepo Traditional Healers Association of Nigeria, Dr, Adesina Olugbemi, commended government for its efforts on development of alternate medicine practice in the state and beyond, pledging members’ support and partnership with the Board.

Reacting, the Olu-Isese of Ogun State, who doubles as the founder, Isese Kingdom of Truth and Traditional Worshippers, Oba Ifarotimi Adifagbola, promising that members of the association would support the Board for the process to be a success in the state.
